March 05, 2015: Light Notebook has made its global debut in India with the launch of its mobile app; an app that helps record, organize and, share your life, privately.

Our digital life is spread across a lot of platforms; including social networks, messaging software, e-mail accounts etc. What if one could use one platform to perform all of these functions: record memories, organize notes, create your own private network, and share your life privately? Light Notebook does just that: ‘records, organizes and lets you share your digital life in one digital asset, privately’.

Commenting on the occasion, Paolo Schellino, Founder & CEO, Light Notebook Inc. said, “India is most definitely a key market for us. The country has over 200 million internet users today, according to a recent study. In addition to this, platforms like Evernote and WhatsApp have seen a whopping 200% increase in the number of users since 2013; this shows the pace at which technology adoption is taking place in the country. Light Notebook is an improved form of life sharing, privately.”

 

Having raised $1.5 million of funds till date, the company is targeting to reach 500,000 users by mid-2016. The goal is to reach 25 million users by the end of 2020. Furthermore, Light Notebook is looking to raise $1.5 million in a Series A Preferred Stock round of financing for 20%. The proceeds of the financing will be used to hire additional employees, continued development on the software, and marketing.

 

Some unique features of Light Notebook-included in the mobile app-include:

  • All messages are organized into comments in notes and folders, instead of existing as a single continuous stream – this means you can search for subject-specific conversation
  • A Note can contain many documents and various types of documents which can be saved in a single shared note
  • Ability to share one’s entire account with others – gives you a pre-generated password that you have to save in a secure place. Once the person that has received the credentials inserts them into his account, he will be able to access all your Notes, Files and Contacts
  • And many more reasons why!
